Severe Weather Alert: Due to winter storms on the East Coast of the United States, many packages will be delayed.The price is the same for both: $3,499.99, which seems too close to the price being asked for the HXR-NX5U at places like B&H for my liking.
"I’d make one. Make one that everybody likes. What do you think happened? Think I was standing over a virgin holding a necronomicon? The trick is to make something everybody digs.”He also regrets the closure of Miramax Films:
“It shows you the state of the business right now. Hate to throw that out to the independent filmmakers, but the market is f$%^#d.”Source: Wired.com
Significantly we have shot all the plates this season for "24" on 5Ds and 1Ds, so now we're moving it into principle photography, second unit, and very soon to be first unit.Read more about it here and here at the Planet5D blog.
We are very much encouraging Canon to build us a set of motion picture Canon lenses for these cameras that will give us things like meta data and auto-focusing while shooting, which could be really revolutionary.
Simply pushing a camera's record button isn't enough if you want something "with some artistic merit," says Brian Valente, a partner with Redrock. "The things we take for granted in a basic consumer video camera just aren't there in the digital SLR."Via: From Still to Motion
the guy who goes through every frame to adjust the amount of depth, dial the intensity up or down, and fix the right-eye/left-eye camera settings so that moviegoers can enjoy dragons skydiving past them without having to turn their popcorn bags into motion-sickness bags.Along the way, you get answers to important questions, like: will Sandra Bullock comedies be in 3D - absolutely! Katzenberg thinks that 3D is the third great revolution in movies - after talkies and color - and there is much waxing poetic, though there are a few moments where we drop back from the lucid reality:
But both Katzenberg and the Captain concede that some movies may be too action-packed or intense — yes, they’re talking about you, Michael Bay and Martin Scorsese — to be experienced in 3-D because, as McNally says, “carrying that much data into the brain is not an enjoyable situation.”Maybe one day we'll be able to enjoy Maureen Dowd's columns in 3D.
More specifically if you sometimes work with NTSC frame rates (like 23.98 or 29.97) and sometimes with non-NTSC frame rates (like 25 for PAL or 30 for the Canon 5D), then FCP will almost certainly screw things up unless you are careful.The problem is that when you import an audio track, Final Cut Pro assigns it a "frame rate" based on the sequence preset that was active when the FCP session in which the project was created was started.
Philip talks about his summoning to the Skywalker Ranch to meet the Grand Moff George Lucas [and talk about] the film that he shot on his 5D while staying there, and [...] screened for George Lucas, Rick McCallum and Quentin Tarrantino.
...today a 480p video on a 1.8Ghz Mac Mini in Safari uses about 34 percent of CPU on Mac versus 16 percent on Windows (running in BootCamp on same hardware). With Flash Player 10.1, we are optimizing video rendering further on the Mac and expect to reduce CPU usage by half, bringing Mac and Windows closer to parity for video.
In many respects the EOS 550D is a 'baby EOS 7D'. As well as getting a resolution boost to a class-leading 18 megapixels and a significantly upgraded movie mode (which now offers full HD capture at up to 30 fps, has full manual control and the option to use an external stereo microphone), the EOS 550D gets the 7D's sophisticated new metering system (bringing it a lot closer to similarly positioned Nikon SLRs). It also sports a new widescreen (3:2) LCD panel, has improved button design and finally offers the ability to customize the Auto ISO function.[UPDATE] This model also features a "Movie crop" mode, which records with the central 640×480 pixel area of the sensor, creating an effective magnification of approximately seven times.
Even with its larger sensor, increased pixel count, and Full HD video recording, the Zi8 managed a lackluster performance in most of our video tests—sometimes coming in with worse numbers than last year's Kodak Zx1.They did like the over-all design, improved white balance, and the addition of full HD recording.
